test: [PROTOTYPE] confirm npm symlink fix with spread
Metadata
Current evaluation
Prototype Spread coverage for the npm/Express symlink fix; open with no review, comments, or CI results after 603 days.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The title explicitly marks this as a PROTOTYPE, and it has no reviewers, comments, or reported CI results, so it is not ready for final review. Despite 603 days of inactivity, there is no evidence of abandonment, rejection, or supersession; current main contains the related Express /app symlink handling.
